The Charles Anthony is the LTTE's first conventional regiment (Padai Pirivu). The number one in the above insignia probably explains its seniority. The emblem has a significant criss-cross of LTTE's earliest rapid-fire gun, the Sub Machine Gun.

The Regiment was commanded by many famous LTTE 'Commanders' including 'Col' Swarnam, 'Col' Nagulan and 'Lt. Col' Nakulan. At its inception 15 years ago, the Charles Anthony Regiment was actually a guerrilla unit with some semi-conventional warfare capabilities.

The Charles Anthony Regiment could have as many as 1000-1500 cadres presently. Hardcore cadres could be around 500. They are almost entirely northern Tamils. Charles Anthony was Prabhakaran's earliest conventional military formation. The unit has also been trained by LTTE Military Wing Leader 'Col' Balraj.

The name Charles Anthony comes from Prabhakaran's personal friend and comrade-in-arms Charles Anthony, an early LTTE recruit from Trincomalee District. He was killed by the Sri Lanka Army at Meesalai on 15th July 1983. Pirapaharan named his first conventional unit the 'Charles Anthony Regiment' as a tribute to his close friend. The LTTE leader later named his only son Charles Anthony Seelan, as a further tribute to his old comrade.

The Charles Anthony Regiment has fought against the Sri Lanka Army (SLA) in Cease-less Waves -I (Oyatha Alaikal-I) to capture the Mullaithivu SLA base, the Kilinochchi SLA base, Cease-less Waves II, against the Jaya Sikurui Operation and the second successful LTTE attack to capture the Elephant Pass Base.

The Regiment, considered part of the LTTE's Special Forces is suffering almost daily casualties at the hands of normal infantry regiments of the Sri Lanka Army.

noltte=peace,Bro fully agree with you.We need to make these guys sufficiently desperate to lauch conventional military operations..one way to do this is to kill several cadres on a daily basis..which is what the forces are doing..then the LTTE will face a point of no return..

DW -When our SF (Special Forces)are around These so called LTTE Special Pussies Shit in there Pants. DW could you Please tell us some things that we dont know About our SF? I really like to know about this special brand of Heros. Col H R is a very good Buddy of mine.Unfortunatly we never get to chit chat as he is a very busy guy in North kicking some LTTE sorry asses.

i agree nandimithra. but to do this today would be labelled a racist act (by our own sinhalese maha pandithayas in fact). many 'educated', english speaking sinhalese have long since given up caring about such things. hence the tigers today...hence the tamils outrageous claims..hence the academics who will tell you the sinhalese are 'just another' group on the island...hence the confusions of the west who presume we're a part of south india...who created this? we did.

what worries me is that more committed people (people with real balls) like the serbs have now had to give up portions of their traditional homeland. what chance have we if the tigers had the backing of the west? would we take the fight to NATO? hardly! we'd sell our children to wealthy tamils to make a $$. we survive on luck comrade, and the weakness of the enemy, not our solidarity...our sense of 'ourselves'. no, nothing of the sort exists because we are all "Sri Lankans" now. forget your race and live as a Sri Lankan they will tell you!! so if you want to live as a "Sri lankan" kiss your sinhalese place names goodbye and start learning tamil. we're all multi-ethnic now dont you know?!??!

The difference lies in the way the war doctrine has changed. From a semi or rigidly controlled-autonomy for the ground commanders during the previous regimes, in particular during the ponsy years, the SLA has turned into a fully fledge professional army with ground commanders capable of effective decision making at operational levels. While that has its own disadvantages in certain situations, the decisions have proven their value in the results raked in. SLA's strategy of inflicting attritional damage without offering static targets has proven very viable, and is being studied by foreign militaries for adaptation. The amount of continuous and unbearable damage being caused by its campaign is the rason for the Norwegian backed western diplomatic pressure that is being waged against the country.

Sri Lankans need to be made aware of the covert and hostile actions the Norwegians have taken against us over the long period of time, so that even future political leaders are steered clear of these nasty folks.

They send in waves of people in row formation starting with the least experienced to the most. The ones that come first waves are generally the weakest such as underage girls running towards army defenses. Most of them get moved down by machine gun fire. The ones that survive cut barb wire or step on mines to clear the way for the next wave. Over time, the defenders run out of ammunition or due to sheer exhaustion just give up. They then capture the camp.

LTTE Balakumaran admitted they lost 3000 in Unceasing waves ops against JayaSikuri.

to all sinhala brothers who make a valuable comments and contributaion to this section!

you all need alot of history lessons on srilanka. like brother Nandimithra said puliyankulama and mulathiv, they are not sinhala words or sinhala names stupid asses.they are Puliyangkulam and Mullaitheevu with correct spellings and have meanings in the literature. have you got any meanings is sinhala for those names?

another tamil reguee boy, learn the history of Sri Lanka before you talk abotu Sri Lankan names in Sri Lanka. All those names were once sinhalese names, and tamils just added "lam" at the end and change few words around. In fact, change your name to reguee instead of lankan because you'll never be a lankan, tamil ltte supporting refugee boy. LMAO!!!!! Dont read history books of sri lanka by tamilnadu historians, read history books of sri lanka by the great sinhalese historians!

//Guys tell me where your brave SF went when LTTE's Unceasing wave 1,2&3.When they were confronting normal LTTE soldiers they just ran away.....shitting in their pants...//

Balaguru (as I remember, in DN) said he is from tamilnadu and wanted to know details about SL conflict, few months ago. It seems he has leraned rapidly-a crash course from Nadesan._________________________________________________

//..Because of the DN activity and habit like this the forum is failing like the country ...you can compare the number of people who comments 2 weeks before and now....defence net is just failed thats what i can say .....For DN ignoring tamils made to ignore your site ah....?//

DN may be you can consider taking shyam also to your team-he will work on increasing the popularity of blog.________________________________________________

In the USA a black guy is on the race to become the president. He doesn't talk about things happened decades ago; slavary, discrimination etc. Mistakes were admitted and corrected. He talks as a real american not as a black.

Tamils in SL still talk about some thing happenned in 56, 83 etc. They live in past, no future. Mistakes were admitted and corretced, mostly, may not be 100%. Tamil di-ass-pora now getting readu for thier e-elamless future. Only things they can celebrate past; 56 langauge issue, 83 riots, unceasing waves, KAB,AAB attacks, killing 1000s of civilians etc. And they are doing it now, in the blog.

VP's eelaam struggle killed 50000 humans and nothing acheived. It is so funny tigers spend time on blogging now, for an elaam._______________________________________________

There is absolutely no meaning with argueing tigers. Hope this helps saving majority's time.

Let me discuss about Tamil names in north and east. Tamils who occupied all the big posts in the Survey department had the liberty to change all sinhala names into tamil names. British masters allowed them a free hand during early nineties when they surveyed the whole of Ceylon.
